A straddle stacker balances loads by straddling the sides of the skid rather than using weight as the counter. Will save you money on each tailgate loading? The cost is much less than a 3,500 lb capacity forklift. It will also assist in eliminating hand-bombing of products from the trailers at street level. Whether you decide on the manual, the semi-electric or fully-electric, will depend on how often you’ll be using the unit.”
